I have a Strathearn Elizabeth II Silver Jubilee Paperweight with a crown pattern of red and white millefiori. It is numbered #84 but there is no indication of the edition size. Can anyone provide any information about the edition size and also suggest a value? The 1952-1977 EIIR is engraved in the back. Thank you.

I believe the plan was to produce a run of 1000, but that this was cut back to 250. As for current sale value, I would have thought similar to a reasonable spoke weight.

I have a copy of this weight I bought boxed with a certificate and, as Alan correctly says, the 1000 edition size is crossed out on the cerificate and overwritten by hand with 250 as I understand a pot broke while they were making this weight so they reduced the number made.Dave
